The decision on hosting the Asia Cup 2023 could be taken by the end of this week. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said that during the final of IPL 2023, the presidents of Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh Cricket Board will gather to watch the final of IPL season-16 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, Asia Cup 2023 will also be discussed. Pakistan will not be a part of this meeting. This year Asia Cup has been organized by Pakistan and India has refused to go to Pakistan for this tournament.

Top officials will watch the final match of IPL

Jai Shah said that so far no decision has been taken regarding the hosting of the Asia Cup. We are busy with IPL but top officials of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan cricket boards are coming to watch the final match of IPL. In the meantime, we will discuss and take a final decision at the right time. Last year, during the T20 World Cup 2022, Jay Shah had announced that the Indian cricket team would not go to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. After that Pakistan had threatened not to participate in the World Cup 2023 to be held in India in October-November this year.

Pakistan has demanded a hybrid model

After Pakistan’s threat, ACC meeting took place in which Pakistan became a little soft and demanded hybrid model. This model had two options, the first was to have India’s second match at a neutral venue and the rest in Pakistan. In the second option, the first four matches of the league stage were to be played in Pakistan and all the remaining matches were to be played at neutral venues. Pakistan has got the support of four countries for this hybrid model. But it is not clear which option is chosen in this hybrid model.
